Band 6

Some people believe that there should be fixed punishment fo each type of crime. Others, however, argue that the circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for committing it should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, the crime rate is increasing, since many more crimes have been recognized as they are. In fact, in the recent years, sexual or child abuse or
also
 domestic violences have been
finally
 defined as huge injuries.
However
, the
punishment
 topic behind different kinds of crimes seems to be still deeply discussed. For many, we should define fixed
punishment
, while others claim that all judgements should be comprised
also
 the reasons that some illegal activities could hide. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both the idea and suggest some food for thought. There are several benefits in defining fixed
punishment
, since in
this
 way people are already aware of what they can risk and maybe they can be scared enough to give up the idea of committing injuries. What I mean is that if we define severe penalty, we can discourage some crimes.
In addition
, fixed
punishment
 could speed up the trials, avoiding all the bureaucratic staffs and ensuring
also
 an equal judgment and justice for all harmed people in the same conditions. Turning to the other side of the story, for specific crimes, maybe could be relevant to understand what were the causes and problems that have pushed someone to violate laws. In minor crimes, as thieving or selling illegal drugs, often are hidden poverty and misery of people who cannot effort anything. In these cases, it is still fundamental to punish the culprits, but maybe we should find out other kinds of castigations, in order maybe to educate them and
also
 to offer some instruments to overcome economic issues. All the things considered, in many situations it is hard to generalize, supporting the idea of fixed
punishment
 and maybe we should start to evaluate the explanations behind some crimes. Personally, I believe that the deep meaning of
punishment
 is to educate, in order to avoid the same situation again, and
therefore
 we should always keep in mind that criminals are still human beings.
